T.F. Calender, Samantha A. Switzer mg 25 Dec 1870 in Columbiana Co., Ohio. This
is the most likely to be accurate as to place. I previously listed their
marriage place as Hicksville, Defiance Ohio because:
The I.G.I. lists a Theods. F. Callender married to Samantha A. Switzer on 25 Dec 1870 in Defiance, Ohio. This is the same date and spouse recorded for Thomas Franklin Callender recorded in the Eliza Brookens bible. I believe this is the same marriage and the same individuals.
Beatrice Callender Moore records give same date, list place as Hicksville, Defiance, Ohio
This is the same spouse name listed and same date of marriage listed for the marriage of Thomas Franklin Callender. I believe this to be the same marriage.
